[QUOTE=GunFox;34851203]Firearms are a funny exception.
In most states you will find that virtually any weapon BUT firearms are banned. Brass knuckles, batons, less than lethal munitions, etc etc are very commonly banned.
Tasers and pepper spray are a wildcard. Some states restrict them completely, others have rules governing their limitations. Specifically, Wisconsin requires a concealed carry permit to carry a taser.[/QUOTE]
brass knuckles are banned because they're extremely cheap and can kill you just as good as a bullet

[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;34851299]What sense does that make?
I am not for outlawing guns but why the fuck should deadly firearms be allowed while less lethal solutions should be illegal?[/QUOTE]
I actually agree with the old electrical weapons ban.
If you need personal protection, well, shit, carry a gun. Nonlethal self-defense is sorta a goofy proposition. You're fearing for your life, you want something guaranteed to drop the other guy quickly, not something that requires personal finesse and has range issues. Nobody who's actually been in a life threatening situation will disagree- it's why cops often go in with one nonlethal weapon and another guy with a lethal one. If you were restricted to nonlethal means, such as protecting property (since it's illegal to use lethal force to protect stuff in this state, you can only use it to protect people) pepper spray has always been legal, and it's substantially easier to use than an electrical weapon. Security guards and individuals not in danger could always just mace somebody's face until the cops showed up, and if that wasn't enough, and the dude ran off, our ridiculously competent police force would find the guy stumbling around crying, or if he attacked you, well, shit, personal defense, lethal force is an option again, just shoot him.
Granted, "you don't need it" has never been a legal reason to ban something, but the argument is (or rather, was), the only function an electrical provides that pepper spray doesn't is easy incapacitation with no mess or inflicting pain, and the only people who would make use of that are criminals. If you were in a serious situation, you could openly carry a sidearm or hide a knife, if you weren't, you were doing security and had a buddy or several and the lot of you could mace someone and then drop them the old fashioned way. The only people who legitimately used electrical weapons were the police. And, indeed, if you look at our crime, you were more likely to see someone abuse an electrical weapon than another nonlethal weapon, like in this instance. The people who tended to drift towards them were rapists, torture nutjobs, people trying to rob stores, etc. I'm not aware of a single instance in which an otherwise law-abiding citizen was arrested for having an electrical weapon, only people misusing them.
Hard to argue with when we're well below the national average in terms of violent and property crime. I mean, sure, it [I]seems[/I] absurd that I'm allowed to have a grenade launcher but not a taser C2, but I've never seen a logical reason why that shouldn't be the case.

Guys, I think he is the Postal Dude.

Sounds like he wanted to be arrested, maybe as a way to get help in breaking his drug addiction. It was an easy way to rack up charges in a way that wasn't dangerous or hurting anyone. I may be giving him to much credit though.
What the fuck an entire suitcase of crack pipes?
Sounds like a strange robbery. he goes into a restaurant. Fix himself his own meal without paying for it. Threatens people with a weapon.
ahahaha. So basically it worked out like this.
I'MMA DA BOSS I'MMA MAKE SOME FRENCH TOAS- OH HELLO OFFICER. HEY I GOT THE SAME KIND OF STUNGU-*zzzt*
